Don’t Fumble Your Workers’ Compensation Claims
Who among us doesn’t enjoy a friendly game of football? The Atlanta Claims Association is no exception. Whether you are a fan of professional or college, flag or just playing in the backyard, we want you to come out to get prepared so you don’t fumble on your next workers’ compensation claim. February is also the biggest game of the season – the Super Bowl! We may not know which teams are playing, but we do know that the ACA annually puts on their Workers’ Compensation Education Seminar and this is one you should not miss. We hope that you will join us on February 2nd at Villa Christina for a great day of education and fun.
The seminar is being submitted for 4 CE and CLE credits. The seminar will start with registration at 9:00am, and The Honorable Rick Thompson, Chairman of the Georgia State Board of Workers’ Compensation, will be our keynote speaker prior to lunch. Summary information and the full agenda are below, along with a current list of our sponsors of this event. We greatly appreciate the support of our sponsors, and ask that you support them as well. Their support is essential to the ACA’s mission of providing top quality seminars at reasonable prices.
